The contenders
Janey Mackers KTB Fit 68/100
Useful performer who showed she retains her ability with a solid third on reappearance last time. She has won on good to soft and at today's trip, though she is making her first start at York. The trainer holds a respectable 14% strike rate here from 44 runs.
Naga KTB Fit 64/100
Useful performer who won over this trip earlier in the season and arrives in decent form after a solid sixth last time. Drops back from 1m4f which looks a sensible move though he has only run once on good to soft ground and did not show his best. Gosden and Buick are both operating at a 20 percent strike rate at York while the horse makes his debut here.
Rastnet KTB Fit 61/100
Rastnet is a fair performer who arrives in solid nick with three consecutive seconds on his recent card. He has placed at today's trip without winning and his trainer has a strong 14% strike-rate at York from 51 runs. The horse is unproven on good to soft ground and makes his first start here.
Sharpen KTB Fit 58/100
Useful performer who has won at this trip and showed smart form when second at York last season. Dropping back from 1m4f looks a positive but the latest ninth on reappearance was disappointing and stall 11 is far from ideal. Trainer has an 8% strike rate from 50 runs at the track.
Bint Al Daar KTB Fit 57/100
Modest performer who has been placed twice from six runs at York without winning. Drops back in trip today having last run over a mile and a half, which looks a plus as she has won over this distance in the past. Placed once from five runs on good to soft but remains winless at this level.
